David Lee Weber, age 56 of Victoria, Kansas, passed away on Thursday, May 14, 2026, at Hays Medical Center.

He was born November 30, 1969, in Hays, Kansas, to Herman V. “Verlee” and Karen (Ellis) Weber.

They didn't expect him to make it through the night, let alone 56 years. He is a fighter. He fought long and hard for three weeks with pneumonia and MRSA. He graduated from Hays High School in 1991. He attended DSNWK until his dad passed away in 2005, and stayed home with his mom until she passed away in 2021; then his older sister took over his care until his death.  He won over many hearts.

David participated in the Kansas Special Olympics, where he earned many medals in basketball, track and field, and bowling. One of the favorite parts of the Special Olympics was the banquet and the dance, as he loved music.

His favorite holiday was Christmas, as he always wanted wrestling cd's and batteries for his radio. His hobbies were the WWE Wrestling Federation. His favorites were the Undertaker and Hulk Hogan, and he loved getting the WWE Wrestling magazine each month. He loved music; he could be seen in the driveway rocking out and waving to everyone that drove by, and David went through many radios and earphones. He didn't know a stranger, and he was a happy-go-lucky kind of guy with that infectious smile and laughter. David loved his McDonald's cheeseburgers, fries, and his Pepsi. David enjoyed tractor pulls and demolition derbies with his dad, brother, nephew Chris, and his uncles.

He loved his beloved pet, Mr. Max. Above all, he loved the Jesus statue that his grandma Anita Weber gave him before she passed; he carried it everywhere around the house.

David is survived by his sister, Melinda (Weber) Rogers, Victoria; and caregiver for the last five years; his brother, Jeffery Weber and significant other, Judy Link, Plainville; his nephew, Christopher and Rachel Rogers, Salt Lick, Ky.; his nieces, Danielle Rogers and Ryan Becker, Plainville; Megan Rogers and Brennan Foster, Natoma; his great-nephew, Braylon Becker Plainville; his great nieces, Gracelynn Foster and Allie Foster, Natoma; his aunts, Donna Mickelson, WaKeeney; Rosie Weber, Hays; Charlotte Weber, Victoria; Roben (Weber) and Bob Ratley, Hutchinson; his uncle, Mitch and Darla Weber, Hays; and many cousins.

David is preceded in death by his parents, Verlee and Karen Weber; his grandparents, Herman and Anita Weber, of Victoria; and Dan and Katherine Ellis, of Ellis.

Graveside Services will be at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at Saint Fidelis Cemetery, 1400 Cathedral Ave., Victoria, Kansas, with Father Curtis Carlson, O.F.M. Cap., officiating.
